DXX Rebirth

The DXX Rebirth is a port developed by Ports. It was released in 1998.

This system scrapes metadata for the “pc” group(s) and loads the dxx-rebirth set from the currently selected theme, if available.

Grouped with the “ports” group of systems.

Quick reference

  • Emulator: dxx-rebirth
  • Folder: /userdata/roms/dxx-rebirth
  • Accepted ROM formats: .d1x, .d2x

BIOS

No DXX Rebirth emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

ROMs

Place your DXX Rebirth ROMs in /userdata/roms/dxx-rebirth.

DXX-Rebirth allows you to play Descent 1 & 2.

DXX-Rebirth requires game data to play. You can get Descent 1 PC shareware data and Descent 2 PC demo data from the DXX-Rebirth website. https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/download/dxx/content/descent-pc-shareware.zip https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/download/dxx/content/descent2-pc-demo.zip

Full game data is supported (and recommended), but is not freely available. You can buy full Descent 1 game data and/or buy full Descent 2 game data from GOG.com. DXX-Rebirth contains engines for both games. Each engine works for its respective game without the data from the other, so players who wish to purchase only one game may do so.

Put your Descent data files in /userdata/roms/dxx-rebirth in it's own Descent directory. Then within that directory, /userdata/roms/dxx-rebirth/Descent add a blank file Descent.d1x. That file will launch the game and allow your to scrape game information via EmulationStation.

Do the same for Descent 2 however using a blank file Descent2.d2x in /userdata/roms/dxx-rebirth/Descent2 accordingly.

A mouse & keyboard is required initially but you can configure a controller per user.
